Those 5 are the only 1st rounders from 2021 playing in the AHL this year.
Raty: 0.56 PPG
Even the Islanders thought enough of Raty that they gave him 12 NHL games this year...which isn't common for a team run by Lou.
So really outside of a couple guys he's producing around where you'd expect a 19/20 year old first rounder from 2021 to produce in the AHL. It's not superstar level - but he's developing like a 1st round pick based on his two post draft seasons.
So again, middling numbers. I guess Pelletier is going to be a superstar by that measure. We will see but I see Raty as a 3rd line C.

I admit I don't follow these prospects who aren't in NA at all so will have to defer to those on CP who do follow them closely. I had no idea so many people track these kids so closely!

Well, Aatu Raty is kind of a big name because when he was 16 he was assumed to be a surefire top 5 pick. But then he fell off. As someone said earlier it's not a totally dissimilar story from Kylington but even more extreme since he was at one point thought to be a likely first overall.

I kind of think Vancouver won. They got all that for 30 games of Bo Horvat?
New York could have signed Horvat for free in a few months if they wanted to. That's a lot to bet on a 20% chance to make the playoffs (via 538,) and then what? A waste of eight days against Boston?
Beauvillier had a great couple years of POs but hasn’t been in for two years and has always been a .4 PPG or so guy. He’s cheap help for a year I guess. But this is basically Horvat going away.
